Anything else: How does one share The Good Place with one's life partner who already believes it might be overhyped? Trying to explain to them that in this case, that is not possible.

I told him I thought he'd like it and made him sit down and watch season one. (I'm...bossy.) It's his favorite show now and he's reading moral philosophy. Yes, I am now married to Chidi.

Hey, another NYC person! And also a Bowie fan! *waves*

I've been trying to share TGP with a family member who can't seem to quite fall for it, even though we both are huge fans of TV in general and a few shows in common. It's not a case of them thinking it's overhyped, as they don't follow what's hot anyway. But...unfortunately I've had to put it on the back burner for now, rather than push it. I'm still hoping - especially since a half hour show is much easier to catch up on.

Yeah, all my partner's friends are praising the show on FB so of course he's becoming more resistant by the moment. We sat down to watch a few weeks ago and he immediately fell asleep. And I can't push the whole "there's a big twist" thing or he'll guess and it was going unspoiled into that big reveal (though I can't say I was surprised) that made it so amazing . . .
